YEAR		WINE/DESCRIPTION		PRICE
2007		Waterstone Napa Valley Merlot Wine Enthusiast 89 pts. WS 88 pts, highlighted as one of the best values in California Merlot.		$16.00
2005		Coho Michael Black Vineyard Merlot Who charges more for their Merlot than their Cabernet? Only Coho, but perhaps it's because they have exclusive access to the Michael Black Vineyard. Some of you may remember Paul Hobbs using this fruit for his outstanding vineyard-designated Merlot. The Michael Black fruit is top drawer and so is the 05 bottling. Aromas of blackfruits, anise, and cream soda, give way to flavors of ripe blackberries, currants, and chocolate. Impeccably balanced with excellent viscosity, this wine is a joy to drink.		$49.95
2005		Corte Riva Merlot RP 91 pts.		$44.95
1993		Beringer Bancroft Ranch Private Reserve Merlot RP 93 pts.		$59.00
